PREFACE. 

Incomplete, erroneous, misleading and 
cumbrous as the many volumes of Guides to the 
World's Fair are, the intelligent visitor who 
wants to see the wonders of the **White City" 
will decline to carry half a pound of learned 
lucubrations even if it bears the imprint of a 
widely known firm or the authenticating (?) 
autograph of the President of the World's 
Fair Directors. 

The Nut Shell Guide will not only satisfy 
but delight the busy intelligent visitor who 
wants value and not a name for his money. It 
is just what its name imports. — A Guide in a 
Nut Shell — and a good Guide at that. It is 
7nore than its name imports, for it furnishes 
an authentic and reliable map of the Fair 
Grounds proper, a separate and reliable map 
of the Midway Plaisance and Ground plans 
and Notable^ Exhibits in all the principal 
Buildings. 

The Nut Shell was not prophetically 
written, weeks before the World's Fair began. 
Not a line of the Nut Shell was placed on 
paper until July 4th when the great and 
completed World's Fair delighted 300,000 people. 

The Nut Shell was written and compiled 
by two experienced Literary men whose ex- 
perience is detailed on the title page. They 
have been continuously engaged on the 
Exposition Grounds for nearly 18 months. The 
Nut Shell is reliable and authentic, and above 
all, moderate in price.

HOW TO LOCATE THE EXHIBITS. 



'*So many men, so many opinions*' wrote a sage of 
long ago and never was the adage more applicable than 
in relation to the World's Columbian Exposition. 
Ninety-nine visitors will conceive an equal number of 
short cuts to see the Fair. Confusion and dissatisfac- 
tion are inevitable results. 

If the reader of the Nutshell desires to see the Fair 
in the shortest time and in the most thoroughly satis- 
factory manner, he will follow the routes, laid down, 
and follow them exactly. It is in no case of '-the blind 
leading the blind'' as his guides have daily been 
exploring the Fair Grounds for the past sixteen 
months. 

If the reader of the Nutshell, therefore enters the 
Mines Building by the south entrance as directed on 
page 18 he will find the Notable Exhibits ranged in 
order and in the order set out in the Nutshell. Suppose 
desires to see the exhibit of Michigan. It is marked 14 
in the Nutshell. Turning to the diagram and ground 
plan on page 19 the visitor finds this number located in 
the center of building and can at once proceed to the 
desired exhibit. Pursue this method and each prin- 
cipal exhibit will pass before the visitor's eye, systemat- 
ically and in order.

THE WORLD'S FAIR 



ITS HISTORY-HOW TO REACH IT 



Brief, indeed, need be the reference to history in 
connection with the World's Columbian Exposition. 
Located at Chicago by an act of Congress (approved 
April 25th, 1890) it cost upwards of $33,000,000 and is 
situated in Jackson Parli and Midway Plaisance, com- 
prising over 700 acres within its fences. It has a front- 
age of one and a half miles on Lake Michigan, while 
the Plaisance forming the connecting link between 
Jackson and Washington Parks is about one mile long 
and 600 feet wide. The landscape arrangements and 
architectural groupings excel by far all previous at- 
tempts at any other exposition. Eighty-six nations, 
colonies and principalities are represented and no less than 
sixteen nations have erected special governmental build- 
ings. Tt is estimated that not less than §6,000,000 have 
been expended for buildings, booths, pavilions, etc., 
and that goods valued a,t $75,000,000 are placed on exhi- 
bition by the foreign powers alone. 

The main buildings erected by the Exposition are 
as follows: Administration, Machinery, Agricultural, 
Manufactures, Electricitj', Mining, Transportation. 
Woman's, Fine Arts, Fisheries, Horticultural, Live 
Stock Pavilion, Terminal Station, Choral, Forestry, 
Dairy, Shoe and Leather, Anthropological, Music Hall 
and Casino with connecting Peristyle, these added to 
the many foreign and state buildings, together with the 
scores of pavilions, booths, etc., erected by concession- 
aires form a grand total of over three hundred separate 
structures under roof inside the boundary lines of Jack- 
son Park. 



HOW TO REACH THE FAIR 

Visitors may have their choice of six different 
methods by which the Exposition Grounds can be 
reached. 

1. The Illinois Central By. Trains leave platforms 
on the east side of the Van Buren street viaduct, every 
two minutes during the day. These trains stop only at 
Midway Plaisance, 63rd street and the Terminal Rail- 
road station, the latter being inside the grounds and at 
the western end of the Grand Court. The fare is 10 
cents each way. 

2. The Alley Elevated R. R, Its trains reach Jackson 
Park in thirty-live minutes. The down town station is 
located on Congress street near the Auditorium Hotel. 
Passengers are landed at the exposition station over the 
Transportation building annex. Fare, 5 cents.. 

3. The Steamboat Line, consisting of twenty-five fine 
vessels. Boats leave the Van Buren street wharf 
everj^ ten minutes, making the trip in forty-five minutes 
and landing passengers on the Columbian Pier near the 
Manufactures building. Bound trip tickets 25 cents, 
single tickets 15 cents. 

4. The Cable Railway consisting of two lines; the 
Cottage Grove cars running southward on Wabash and 
Cottage Grove avenues, and landing passengers at 
South Park station, two blocks from 57th street 
entrance. The State street cars, South on State 
to 61st street, where a transfer is given on the 
electric line running east within one block of the 60th 
street entrance. Fare, 5 cents. 

5. By Tally-ho Coach or Carriage following the ex- 
tensive boulevard system and entering the Fair 
Grounds from r)6th street and Cornell Avenue. 

6. By Raihvay Trains entering the Terminal Station 
and running from most of the up-to\vn depots.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 



FIRST DAY 



After having partaken of a substantial breakfast, 
and made arrangements for the preparation of a light 
luncheon, put up in a small basket or a paper box, the vis- 
itor is anxious to board the cars or boat, 
and to be fairly on his way to the White 
C!ty. Naturally he will desire to reach the Ex- 
position as quickly as possible, in such a case let him 
board the Illinois Central fast train, remaining seated 
until the terminal station is announced. Passing 
through the turnstile and proceeding straight ahead he 
will find himself in the main waiting room of the 

TERMINAL RAILWAY STATION 

designed by C. B. Atwood, and modeled after 
the famous baths of Caracalla in Rome. Di- 
mensions 250 X 600 feet, three stories high, cost 
^250,000. This building contains waiting and check 
rooms, lunch counters, lavatories and general railway 
and custom house offices. In the main hall notice the 
24 clocks showing the time in the principal cities of the 
world. Once fairly outside the main entrance the 
handsome booth for the sale of Chocolate Menier, wtll 
be noticed to the left. There before him looms the 

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 

the ''gem'' of the Exposition, it was designed by 
Richard M. Hunt, New York (^ity. Dimensions 
262 X 262 feet. Grand central dome 277 feet 
high, cost $550,000. Statuary by Karl Bitter, New 
York City. Painted decorations by AVilliam Leftwich 
Dodge. — the dome reminds one of the Invalides, the 
tomb of Napoleon the Great, in Paris. 

15 



There are four main pavilions occupied as follows: 

Pavilion A— 

United States Commissioners, 
Telegraph officers. 
Messenger service. 

Pavilion B— 

Executive officers. 
Custom House officials. 

Pavilion C— 

Publicitj'^ and Promotion. 

Newspaper and correspondents headquarters. 

Bureau of Imformation. 

Pavilion D— 

Office Foreign affairs. 

Express companies. 

Bank and Columbian Guard. 
Twenty-eight groups and a large number of single 
pieces of statuary are placed on and around the Ad- 
ministration Building, the larger groups representing 
'Tire;' ''Air;' ''Water;' and "Earth'' in their natural 
condition and as subdued or controlled by man. The 
smaller groups being designed to represent ''War;' 
"Fine Arts;' "Industry," and "Sciences.'' 

A magnificent view of the central basin and the 
surrounding buildings can be obtained from the terrrace 
on the fourth floor, reached by the elevator or winding 
stairs. Many inscriptions and the names of famous 
navigators and explorers will be noticed around both 
the outer and inside walls of the inmiense dome. Im- 
mediately in front of the eastern door is the fine statue 
of Columbus by Augustus St. Gaudens. In front 
of this is the Columbian Fountain facing the 
main basin just east of the Administration 
Building, designed by Frederick MacMonnies of Paris. 
It resembles closely a symbolical sketch alleged to have 
been drawn by Columbus, and in some respects follows 
the model of the great fountain at the Paris exposition. 
On either side are arranged two of the largest Electric 
Fountains ever made— the basins are 60 ft. in diameter; 

16 




17 



each having 152 jets all of which can be thrown into 
action at one time; 38 arc lights are required for illu- 
mination. The cost of the operation for one night is 
8700. 

Turning to the north, or left, the visitor may now 
partly retrace his footsteps to the main southern en- 
trance of the 

MINES AND MINING BUILDING 

designed in the Italian Renaissance style by S. S. 
Beman, architect, of ( hicago. Dimensions 350 x 700 
feet; two stories high; floor area 8.7 acres; cost 
$265,000. The visitor should proceed northward 
through the main aisle, turning to the left when the

the next aisle w^est, then again proceed north up eastern 
aisle.

Within the loop of the Intramural railway one 
notices the Indian School. The building was erected by 
the U. S. Government and is 80x185 feet in dimension 
and two stories high. There are relays of Indian 
students, (boys and girls) each detailed for a certain 
period and do their own cooking and housekeeping. 
Exhibits of work from the different Indian schools are 
shown and mark the progress in the education of the 
Indian. The next point of interest is the Krupp Gun 
exhibit made by Herr Krupp of Essen, Germany. The 
largest cannon ever manufactured, weighing 124 tons, 
and throwing a projectile weighing 2,300 pounds, is of 
course the main attraction. It is valued at $50,000 and 
has a range of 15 miles. Smaller cannons and ordinance 
complete this extraordinary display which is one of the 
largest and most valuable on the grounds. North 
of Krupp's exhibit will be noticed the Swimming 
Scliool pavilion, also used as a cafe and refreshment 
booth. Here one may secure a pair of bathing trunks 
for 25 cents, and take a delightful swim in the lake. 
On the rocky sloops overlooking the lake and 

47 



water entrance to the south pond is an exact repro- 
duction of the 

CONVENT OF LA RABiOA 

where Columbus is said to have begged for shelter and 
food. It contains over one thousand relics of Columbus 
and articles pertaining to the discovery of America, and 
is guarded day and night by a cordon of United States 
soldiers who are housed in the tents close at hand. 
Manj^ of the articles which are on exhibition in this 
building are of untold value and were loaned to this 
country by the Spanish Government.

SECOND DAY 



The water route affords the visitor one of the most 
agreeable and convenient methods of reaching the

cluding the magnificent '^Christopher Columbus/' leave 
the docks at the east end of the Van Buren street via-

out into the lake 2,500 feet and is 250 feet in width. It 
has an area of thirteen and one-half acres and is built 
on 8,000 piles averaging thirty-five feet in length. In- 
side the turnstiles will be noticed the Movable Side-

ing rooms, parlors, lavatories and all conveniences 
under the supervision of the Bureau of Public Comfort. 
A dining room having a seating capacity of 1,500 peop.c.

in fish and sea foam design. Dimensions, 165x365 feet, 
the Annexes, connected witli the main building by- 
arcades, are circular in form, and 135 feet in diameter. 
Total cost, $225,000. Total floor area, 3.1 acres. 
Architect, Henry Ives Cobb of Chicago. In the 
main building are the general fisheries exhiuit. In the 
west annex is the angling exhibit, and in the east is the 
aquaria. The glass fronts of the aquaria are 575 feet in 
length and have 3,000 square feet of surface. The water 
capacity of the aquaria is 140,000 gallons. Salt-water 
fish will be shown in tanks of 40,000 gallons. The salt

Adjoining the Fisheries' Building on the north, v^^ill 
be seen the Polisli Cafe serving dishes peculiar to the 
Polish people, west of which is located the Swedish 
Restaurant architecturally representing an old tavern 
in Sweden. Just back of this restaurant is a handsome 
structure known as the Cafe de Marine w^here all kinds 
of shell fish, poultry, and game can be procured. 

The Japanese Tea House constructed of green 
bamboo and furnished in true Japanese style, afi"ords a 
charming retreat for tea drinking visitors and is situated 
just north of the Cafe de Marine near the bridge. 

Again the visitor must take a southern course 
crossing the bridge leading from west wing of Fish- 
eries' building over the lagoon and across to the 

WOODED ISLAND 

To many w^ho go sight-seeing at the Fair the 
wooded island will be one of the most delightful resorts 
in the entire gounds. It's a beautiful place to relieve 
the eye and mind from all the grandeur of the architec- 
tural and industrial wonders w^hich continually impress 
one while on the avenues and in the buildings. A little 
irregularly shaped body of land — sixteen acres in all — 
which has been transformed into a veritable paradise. 
The island will, unconsciously to many, serve the pur- 
pose for which it was designed, a resting place where 
relief from the study of the arts and industries may be 
found. It is devoted largely to floriculture and horti- 
culture. At the north end however, is the Japanese 
building. 

JAPAN'S ISLAND PAVILION 

The Japanese building is a reproduction of the 
Hooden or Phenix palace, and consists of the pavilions 

134 



i 



representing three periods of Japanese history. The 
left wing is in the Fujiwari style, ranging from the 
tenth to the thirteenth century. The right wing shows 
the style of the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. 
The central pavilion represents part of a Daimo's 
palace in the eighteenth century. The building is to 
be presented to the City of Chicago as a gift from the 
Japanese commission after the close of the Exposition. 
The buildings are full of unique and attractive exhibits 
from the flowery kingdom. They are located at the 
extreme north end of the island. 

At the south end of the island, almost hidden by 
bushes and scrub trees, may be found the Hunter^s 
Cabin, or Davy Crockett's camp. The very sight of it 
will afford a rest to the eye. The little pioneer cabin is 
filled with relics of Davy Crockett and of old hunting 
and trapping days in America. It might also stand as 
an exhibit of Chicago as she was fifty or sixty years 
ago. The hut presents a striking contrast to the stately 
edifices looming up just across the water on all sides. 

BOATS ON THE LAGOON 

While on the wooded island the visitor will observe 
the many different kinds of water-craft on the lagoon. 
Drawn up in the rushes that fringe the wooded island 
are half a hundred boats, each one unique in its way, 
and each in its construction emphasizing the peculiar- 
ities of the land from which it comes. In a miniature 
harbor two birch-bark canoes, brought from Hudson 
Bay, swing at the end of grass ropes. A little farther 
along is seen the picturesque Klingit canoe, which the 
Alaskan Indians use on the riv^ers. Nearly all of these 
boats are classified in the department of transportation 
exhibits. The gondola company has twenty gondolas 
and four bissones, propelled bj^ 60 gondoliers. The 
costumes of the gondoliers are of bright colors, after 
the style of the fourteenth centur5^ The canopies of 
the gondolas and bissones are of rich heavy velvet, with 
linings of tints to match the roofs covered with heavy 

U5 



satin. Gold fringe, tassels, and cords are used to orna- 
ment these canopies. 

THREE-MILE WATER COURSE 

There are also electric launches. The course over 
which they run measures about three miles for the 
round trip, and there are landings at all the large build- 
ings and principal points of interest. They are about 
IG feet in length all over, with a beam G feet 3 inches, 
and a draught of about 28 inches. They are elegantly 
finished in mahogany, are luxuriously cushioned and 
carpeted, and carry about 30 passengers each. Batteries 
and motors are placed beneath the seats and fiooring, so 
that the utmost carrying capacity is availed of, and 
they are absolutely free from smoke, grease, ofiensive 
odors, and vibration. The speed of the launches on the 
lagoons is limited to six miles an hour, but thej^ can 
be spurted to the rate of nine to twelve miles when 
desired. The launches are provided with gayly striped 
canopies to protect passengers from the sun, and wath 
side curtains for use on stormy days or in case of a 
sudden shower. Boarding an Illinois Central at 60th 
street, the visitor proceeds home and thus completes 
his third day's tour.

FOURTH DAY 



FOREIGN BUILDINGS 



The Foreign Buildings are in close proximity to the 
North Pier, which is reached by the smaller excursion 
steamers from Chicago's Lake Front; and within easy 
distance of the principal pier, by means of steam- 
launches, for those arriving by the larger vessels. As- 
suming the visitor will select the water route, the first of 
the foreign buildings he notices after landing near the 
Naval exhibit is that of 

GREAT BRITAIN 

It is a typical English "half-timber*' house of the 
style of the sixteenth century, and has been officially 
named "Victoria House." The building is 2jenerally 
characteristic of the best type of English half-tim])er 
houses of the time of Henry YIII, and was designed by 
Col. Edis. The plan forms three sides of a quadrangle, 
with the open side next the lake, inclosed by a raised 
terrace with balustrade. On the first floor is a large 
suite of rooms and offices. The walls and ceilings of 
the principal rooms are elaborately paneled. The 
furniture is very handsome, being of carved oak in the 
Italian renaissance style. 

In addition to the library, reception and commis- 
sioner's rooms, there may be seen several interesting 
exhibits as follows: 

137 



Large scale map showing discoveries made by Eng- 
land in America. 

Educational and postoffice exhibits. 

Just west of the British Building stands a Soda 
Pavilion, where the visitor may quench his thirst before 
going on to the Clam Bake near the Fisheries' Building 
which has a seating capacity of 2,200 persons. An 
annex known as the Banquet Hall is 140x170 feet, two 
stories high with a Casino roof. From the Clam Bake 
the route leads to the 

CANADIAN BUILDING 

Which stands on the lake shore. The main building 
is two stories high and has three entrances, the princi- 
pal one facing the lake. A plain style of architecture 
was adopted for the construction of the building, which 
is 70x40 feet, having in addition a semi-circula^r pro- 
jection of 20 feet in the front and rear elevation. 
Over the front entrance the tower is circular as it 
issues through the roof. There is a veranda 10 feet 
w^ide all around the building, having a balcony over- 
head of the same width supported b}^ twenty-eight 
columns, with a balustrade divided into panels. D. 
E warts, architect. In order to show the different 
woods indigenous to Canada, the interior walls, ceiling, 
and floors of the pavilion have been finished in wood,, 
highly polished, showing their natural grain. Each 
Province has furnished the wood required to finish the 
rooms to be occupied by its commissioners. 

The pavilion, with its finishings, cost about $30,000. 

Over 500 Canadian newspapers are kept on file in 
the reading room. 

Westward of and next to this building is that 
of another English colony, 

NEW SOUTH WALES 

Which is called the "Australian House.*' Classical 
in design and ornamentation. It is 60x60 feet inexter- 

138 



ior dimensions, with a portico 12 feet wide extending 
across the front. The portico roof is supported by- 
six Doric columns, 2 feet 6 inches in diameter, and 20 
feet high, with a cornice frieze and balustrade extending 
around the entire building. The exterior of the build- 
ing is staff. The central portion is occupied by a hall 
30 feet in width and extending the entire depth of the 
building. In the center is polygonal dome, 30 feet in 
diameter, the top being 40 feet from the floor. 

This building is occupied by the commissioners. 

North of Australian House.and lying between Can- 
ada and Germany, is the 

SPANISH BUILDING 

A three-fourths reproductions of a section of La 
Lonja the Lace Exchange, Valencia, Spain. The erect- 
ion of this building was commenced in 1492 previous to 
the departure of Columbus' fleet. The section shown 
represents the column-hall and the tower wherein all 
defaulting and bankrupt merchants were confined, A 
circular -stairway, approached from an inside entrance, 
affords means of reaching the top of the tower. This 
building has a frontage of 84 feet and 6 inches and a 
depth of about 95 feet. The height of the main building 
is about 50 feet, the tower rising to the height of nearly 
65 feet. Rafael Gaustivino, architect. 

Many relics of Columbus are on exhibition in this 
structure; some of his letters, a sword which belonged 
to his beautiful and magnanimous patron, Isabella, also 
one wielded to Cortez in his conquest of Mexico; 
ancient Spanish Artillery with ammunition, etc. 

^ Still walking towards the northwest the next 
structure to be visited is that of the 

GERMAN BUILDING 

Which has an imposing frontage on the lake front 
of about 150 feet and a depth of 175 feet. Its height is 

139 



78 feet and the tower that overtops its measures 150 
feet from the ground. Over the main entrance, in 
Gothic lettering, a characteristic German motto 
appears, which in English would be: 

Fruitful and powerful, 

Full of corn and wine, 
Full of strength and iron, 

Tuneful and thoughtful, 
I will praise thee, 

Fatherland mine. 

In the belfry are hung three huge bells, which will 
ultimately go into the "Church of Mercy,'' now being 
constructed at Berlin, in memory of the late Empress 
Augusta. Their chimes are worth hearing. 

The center is in the form of a chapel, rich in decor- 
ations. The massive walls are decorated and frescoed 
in South German style. The rather steep roof is cov- 
ered with shining glazed tiles imported from Germany. 
The inner hall, with the exception noted, extends over 
the entire space in the building, covering an area of 
about 2.000 square feet. The pillars everywhere are 
heavy, short and solid throughout and the arches are 
semi-circular, the style being early German Renaissance. 
Balconies rise in tiers on all four sides, the heavy tim- 
ber and castings used in their construction being richly 
decorated. Subdued color eftects are everywhere visi- 
ble and the niches and corners show poetic paintings. 
The German Building (jost .$250,000. 

A large library and reading room containing files 
of leading German newspapers aflords a place of rest 
and interest to the visitors. 

South and a little westward of it may be found the 



HAYTIAN BUILDING 



I 



The exterior dimensions of the building are 124x160 
feet, 50 feet high. The Haj^ ti building contains some 
interesting historical relics from the tlie 'M)]ack repub- 
lic.*' One of Columbus' ancliors, various trophies, etc., 
of aboriginal inhabitants, the bust and relics of the 

140 



famous patriot, Toussaint L' Ouverture and pictures 
of noted men of the republic are also exhibited. The 
beautiful statue in the center of the building entitled 
*'La Eeverie" is b}^ Laforestrie, a native negro sculptor. 

There is a restaurant in connection with the building 
where cofl'ee made from the berries grown in Hayti is 
served at 10 cents per cup. 

Northwest of and across the walk from the building 
last visited is the site upon which is seen the 

EAST INDIA BUILDING 

The exterior is in East Indian style, modeled 
remotely after the fashion of the Taj Mahal. The most 
striking part is the doorway. The building is one 
story high, with the gallery and a piazza in front. It is 
built entirely of staff. In shape the structure is rectan- 
gular, 80x60 feet, 50 high and its architecture is gener- 
ally on Indian lines. The main entrance is through a 
lofty gateway surmounted by minarets, which are 
repeated on the corners of the building; the whole 
decorated in the high, striking colors of the Orient. 

All articles displayed in this building are for sale and 
consist of a large and varied assortment of Indian 
fabrics and wares. 

Just back of here appears the 

COLOMBIA BUILDING 

The prevailing style of its architecture is that of 
the Italian Renaissance. Lieut, R. H. Lemly, archi- 
tect. It occupies a space 45x45 feet, but on each side 
are conservatories filled with rare tropical plants, 
which give it the appearance of much greater dimen- 
sions. Cost, S1G,000. The building is surmounted by a 
glass dome and a condor, which is the national emblem- 
atic bird of Columbia. On each side a group of three 
figures supports a globe and Hagstaff bearing the 
national colors— yellow, blue, and red. At a lower 

14X 



level, and occupying the principal place in the facade, 
is the national coat-of-arms consisting of a shield with 
three divisions; viz., two horns of plenty separated by 
the granada, a native fruit, a liberty cap, and finally a 
representation of the Isthmus of Panama, with a ship 
in each ocean. It is used as a clubhouse and official 
headquarters. 

In the exhibition room is a very valuable collection 
of antiquities, exhumed from prehistoric graves in 
Colombia, comprising water-bottles, human images, 
helmets, trumpets, breastplates, necklaces, bangles, 
anklets, etc., all of pure gold. 

There are also several large mummies and a large 
collection of ancient pottery. 

First book printed in South America, 1584. 

One part of the collection which attracts attention 
is the little carved wooden images of men and women 
scarcely an inch in height, but perfect in outline and 
detail. They were carved by a native girl 17 years old. 

South of Colombia, and in the same plot of ground 
framed by its triangular lines is the 

SWEDISH BUILDING 

The building was manufactured in Sweden, where 
it was temporarily put together; afterwards taken to 
pieces, sent across the ocean, and erected on its three- 
cornered site at Jackson Park. 

Its entire cost has been nearly $40,000. The design 
of the pavilion was made by Gustaf ^Vickman, architect, 
of Stockholm, and represents in style the Swedish 
churches and gentlemen's country-houses of the six- 
teenth and seventeenth centuries, and as far as possible 
the characteristics of the old Swedish architecture have 
been retained. The lower part of the front wall of the 
pavilion consists of modern brick, terra-eotta and 
cement work. Except the part just mentioned, the en- 
tire structure is built of wood. The window sashes are 
all painted in green, and some turned details of the 

142 



i 



balconies have been colored red, green and white. The 
high crown on the top of the steeple, as well as the 
frame work around the bell, is gilded. The inside of 
the pavilion is painted in light colors, and richly 
decorated with bunting, coats-of-arms, crests, etc. It 
is filled with an excellent display of the products of 
Sweden. 

Here may be found an excellent exhibit of the 
world-famed Swedish iron ores, also china goods, grass 
products, gold and silver work, wood pulp and mani- 
fold other articles. 

A complete collection of Swedish minerals, and 
also instructive geographical maps. 

In fact, the building is quite full of interesting 
exhibits depicting life in Sweden, dress, etc., as well as 
a historical display. 

West and across the walk of the Swedish Pavilion 
is found the 

VENEZUELA BUILDING 

The building is a single story in height, and is con- 
structed of white marble, in the Graeco-Koman style of 
architecture. The graceful facade is ornamented with 
three handsome towers, on the left of which stands a 
life-sized statue of Columbus. On the right is the 
statue of Bolivar, the * 'Liberator.'' 

It contains an interesting lot of prehistoric relics 
of the Incas, mineral and vegetable products, displays 
of fine arts, manufactures, etc. 

Along the walk to the east of Venezuela is a struc- 
ture of difl"erent type, erected by an Asiatic power, the 

TURKISH BUILDING 

a reproduction of a fountain in Constantinople, built 
200 years ago by Selim the Great. On three sides of the 
structure are marble basins, into which spout crystal 

143 



waters, while upon the fourth side is a beautiful portal 
for entrance to the interior. Intricate carvings adorn 
the exterior walls, which are composed of mucharabia, 
a Turkish hardwood of great beauty. 

Bich exhibit of silks, costly jewelry and brilliant 
gems; also guns, gold and silver wares, daggers, soft 
fabrics and other oriental wares are placed in this 
pavilion. 

Here may also be se3n many curious relics from 
the Stamboul museum, and historic relics of the greatest 
value. 

Lying west of Turkey is the 

BRAZILIAN BUILDING 



The ground plan of the pavilion is in the form of a 
Greek cross, the outside dimensions being 148x148 feet. 
Col. Sousa Aguiar, architect. The elevation has two 
stories, 25 feet 6 inches and 25 feet high, respectively, 
surmounted by a central dome constructed of steel, 43 
feet in diameter at the base and 43 feet high at the 
crown. The entire height from grade to top of finial is 
120 feet. The style of architecture is strictly French 
Eenaissance. The Indian figures in the base reliefs of 
the facades and those on the stylobate of the dome are 
allegorical, and representative of the republic of Brazil, 
and are very fittingly used in this connection. The 
columns and capitals of the four facades are Corinthian 
in order. There are four campaniles, each with an 
open observatory 70 feet from grade. These points are 
reached by spiral iron stairs from the second floor to 
the roof, at which point the wood stairs complete the 
means of ascent. The entire roof except the dome, is 
flat and surrounded by a balustrade. The cost of this 
building was $00,000. 

Divided into ofllces for the Brazilian comissioners. 

144 



Northeast of Brazil is the 

GUATEMALA BUILDING 

This building is square with 111 feet at each side 
and occupies a space of 1.200 feet. Its architecture is 
original but in no way classical. It is in the Spanish 
style and corresponds well with the country it repres- 
ents. The interior court resembles the old Palos Span- 
ish House. In the court is a fountain, from which the 
waters play as from over a large rock. The entire 
height of the towers is 65 feet. The total cost was 
about $40,000. 

Large display of coffee. 

In the rear is a coffee garden where native musi- 
cians discourse sweet instrumental music. 

North of the Guatemala is the 

COSTA RICA BUILDING 

Which in style is called Doric, is 103 feet wide, 
with two stories and clear-story, making the full height 
50 feet high. Over each main entrance to the building 
is placed the national shield of the Central American 
republic in bold relief, making a striking addition to 
the decorative part of the work. The building cost 
$20,000. 

All of Costa Kica's exhibits are found in this build- 
ing. 

The coffee raising and process of curing being the 
most interesting. 

It is necessary to take a course due northeast to 
reach the 

NORWAY BUILDING 

In style it is built after tlie model of the old '-Stav- 
kirke'' a peculiarly Norwegian style of architecture, 
which dates back to the twelfth century. It is an oddly 

145 



built eross-gabled edifice, the peaks of its gables orna- 
mented with decorations similar to those with which 
the Norsemen of the time of Leif Ericsson, the first 
discoverer of America, w^ere wont to embellish the 
prows of their sea-going vessels. In size the building is 
G0x25 feet and is constructed of Norway pine. It was 
planned and built in sections in Norway, then taken 
down, sent here and set up. All of its workmen and 
materials were Norwegian. 

Occupied by the commission and used as a reception 
parlor. 

Northeast of Norw^ay an antique Buddhist temple, 
facing Lake Michigan presents an attractive appearance, 
it is the 

CEYLON COURT 

It consists of a central octa£:onal building with two 
wings facing, respectively, north and south. The 
length of the entire court is 145 feet; the width of the 
central hall, 50 feet. The doorway is beautifully hand- 
carved in imitation of those ancient temples. 

Contains many beautiful interesting relics, etc. 

Northwestwardly from the Ceylon building and 
adjoining it, is the ^ 

FRENCH BUILDING 

There are two pavilions connected by two semi- 
circular colonades, at the center of which is a very fine 
fountain elaborately decorated with bronze statuary 
brought over from France. The court of the pavilion 
faces the lake, the enclosure thus made forming a 
delightful retreat. The exterior of the building is in 
the style of the French Renaissance, entirely of staff 
and elaborately decorated, there being a very large 
group of statuary on the north facade and several his- 
torical paintings placed on the exterior of the building. 
The general effect of this structures is quite pleasing. 
Architects, Motte & Du Buysson. 

146 



The large room of this pavilion is entitled ^*De La 
Fayette'' and it contains all the gifts, mementos, histor- 
ical relics and things of interest regarding the dealing 
between La Fayette and this country. 

Models and plans of the schools, prisons, hospitals 
and sewerage system of Paris are also shown on the 
walls of this structureo

SIXTH DAY 



MIDWAY PLAISANCE 



Consists of a strip of ground 600 feet in width and 
one mile long. It extends from Jackson Park, or the 
main exposition grounds on tlie east, to Cottage Grove 
avenue on tiie west. The plaisance may be conveniently 
reached from the Cottage Grove avenue car line at its . 
western end of the Plaisance. Entrance may also be 
had at the eastern end of the plaisance from the expos- 
tion grounds proper. The plaisance is a part of the 
exposition, each attraction therein having its catalogue 
number. Entering this remarkable street from the 
main exposition there opens up before the visitor a 
vista of things truly wonderful, an aggregation of attract- 
ions which might not be seen in a life time if one were 
to seek them out in their native places. Here they 
stand in juxtaposition — an international congress of 
life ; a section of the Orient transplanted to Chicago. 
If the visitor can possibly afford it, he should 
not hesitate to see everything along this street of 
wonders. It is not likely that another opportunity 
will be offered, in this country, at least, for many 
years.
